Has been a while, but IMO the animals work well because they abstract the history lesson away from any specific people. It shows how universal these patterns are. I didn't like Animal Farm because it was so well written or had such an intriguing story arc. I liked it because draws a picture of behavior in societies and holds up a mirror to us humans.

I can get behind that explaination. Well, I do think I had a more "artistic" expectation from the book given how many people recommend it, instead got something that was very raw and direct about it's message.

Many of the animals are just direct references to specific people though.
